## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability esgpulse-fashion-brand-ethical-sourcing-check-d68db95f
```

Example prompt: Can you check the ethical sourcing record for Zara — I want to know their labor practices, whether they publish their supplier list, their fur policy, and if they show up in the Fashion Transparency Index?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, free-registry-grounded ethical sourcing check specifically for apparel and fashion brands, covering the intersection of labor rights, supply chain transparency, environmental compliance, and animal welfare. It is ideal when you want to cross-reference multiple authoritative open registries (UK Modern Slavery Statement Registry, Fashion Transparency Index, Wikirate) in a single call rather than querying each separately. Prefer this over generic ESG score endpoints when fashion-specific dimensions like fur policy, EUDR relevance, and supplier list publication are important to the query.

## Known failure modes

- Brand not found in any referenced registry — returns empty or null fields for most categories
- Ambiguous brand name matches multiple entities — may return data for wrong brand
- Registry data may be outdated if underlying sources have not been recently updated
- Very small or private labels with no public ESG footprint may return minimal data
- API returns error if brand parameter is missing or malformed

## How this service works

ESGPulse delivers real-time ESG intelligence: CSRD compliance roadmaps, EU Taxonomy alignment checks, supply chain due diligence, emissions analysis, greenwashing risk, and more. x402 micropayment API.

## Output

A JSON object containing the brand name, an overall ethical sourcing verdict with a rating (e.g. 'moderate'), labor practices details including modern slavery statement registry status, transparency practices showing whether a supplier list is published, environmental practices including EUDR relevance, animal welfare practices including fur policy, and whether the brand appears in the Fashion Transparency Index — all sourced from free open public registries.
